I have a chance to buy a 6D kit unopened for $1800. I was told it was a gift but he wants the 5D MK III. I have the 5D MK II with a very sharp 24-105mm now and want opinions on whether it's worth the upgrade. I figure if I sell his new lens for around $700 that would leave the 6D cost at $1100 and then I could compare my 5D MK II and the 6D and see if the 6D is better. I also figure I would be able to sell either the 5D or 6D for more than $1100 so I wouldn't lose any money on this deal.
Too much of a hassle for the possible minor upgrade?

If only the 6D had...PC SYNC port, 1/200 flash sync....1/8000 shutter speed so I don't have to stop down to f/3.5 to not blow out a sunny day...I might trade my 5d2s out for them. But...They don't, so I can't.

I picked up the 6D kit last night and will try to do some comparisons to my 5D MK II. The first thing I noticed was the rear wheel feels like crap compared to the 5D when rotating and the layout of the buttons will take some getting use to. Overall feel is much cheaper.
